    Looking at getting one of the above. Doesn't seem to be that much between them. Everyone's talking about how easy it is to unlock and mod the San Francisco but LG Arena is now reasonably priced on PAYG. The Samsung Jet is even a bit cheaper but locked to O2. I want to remain on 3 and I don't want it if it's gonna be hard to unlock.

    I'm looking for wifi, half decent camera with flash, GPS, good browsing ability nad a big screen. don't think there's much to choose, what would you go for?

    That rules out the LG Arena....decent camera but the flash was pathetic. The battery life went from having to be charged every 2nd night to every night after just a month and that was light usage. I was on meteor at the time and never used it for mobile browsing cos their 3g coverage in my area was poor. I got rid of it after a month!
    I can't advise on the other 2 though...

    The Jet is a year and a half old!! I got increasingly p!ssed off with the touchscreen as it's far from sensitive. It was great when it came out, but now it'd just be a disappointment for you to buy it new.

    True the engine in the jet is still up to modern day specs 800mhz procc and 512 ram etc but the darn touch wiz is pants...there is a group called jetdroid porting android on to it but by the time they do the phone will be a relic

    Judging by the number of complaints on the carphone warehouse threads, I reckon I'm going go with the San Fran once it's back in stock up north.
